Black items require special care to retain color and texture. In the article, you will learn about some tricks for caring for dark and black things.
How to wash black clothes
Black garments are best washed in cold water. Warm water in this case contributes to the discoloration of the fibers.
Do not overload the drum with laundry. The fewer things, the easier it is for the machine to rinse them.
Black items can be washed with colored powder. Nevertheless, it is better to use a liquid gel, it rinses out better and does not leave whitish streaks, which happens very often with black things.
To keep your clothes black, wash them separately from any other colors. Add a pinch of salt to your laundry detergent to keep the color vibrant when washing.
How to freshen up black clothes
You can return the black color to clothes using an aqueous solution of tobacco or vinegar. After washing, soak the product with a mixture of 1 liter of water and 20 grams of tobacco solution, paying special attention to the seams.
Alternatively, soak a dress, sweater, or trousers in water with three tablespoons of regular household vinegar (for a maximum of 20 minutes).
Thus, you will keep the rich black color of things and they will look like new.
